<br/>&lt;> HALT THE BLOOD MINERALS TRADE IN THE D.R. CONGO &lt;>
<br/>
<br/>v:shal kanwar & En Avant Congo invite you to AMANI, a unique event promoting activism to end the most lethal war in the world and raise funds for this war's rape survivors. AMANI will bring together dancers and musicians from two traditions – Congolese Soukous and South Asian Bhangra – which have electrified party-goers across their respective continents for decades.
<br/>
<br/>A brief program will engage attendees in activism to end a conflict that has taken 5.4 million lives and left hundreds of thousand of rape survivors in need of services, followed by a friendly competition between the Soukous and Bhangra dancers and musicians as they represent the best of their continents’ moves and grooves in the first such dual performance of its kind.
<br/>
<br/>The Congolese dancers will be from the internationally renowned group Wenge Musica.
<br/>
<br/>AMANI’s up-beat, infectious spirit, innovative cultural content and unifying message is sure to deliver the most electric evening’s entertainment in Washington, while attendees fund the services rape survivors in Congo need to move forward.

</div>Sizzle2008-12-05T04:42:42ZOtt - Live Performance! (Psychedelic Dub)Synzhttp://adamsmorgan.tribe.net/thread/628f2cac-6b5e-4395-9869-7c7db37912d92008-11-13T21:31:39Z2008-11-13T21:31:39Z<div> Ott from Twisted Records will be performing Live in Washington, DC. On tour in support of his recent album, 'Skylon', Ott is no stranger to the studio, he has for the last 20 years been producing, arranging and recording some of the most famous artists including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno. He continues to work with many famous artists and along his travels has met up with Twisted Records own master producer Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen, editing Shpongle. After hearing his studio skills Simon commissioned him to make this (Blumenkraft -- Ott's first album) modern dub album as an antithesis to his own hurtling trance music. The results are as you shall see are startling, a stunning example of modern dub and one that is massive with all dance music and ambient music fans across the globe.
<br/>
<br/>In the last 5 years, the improvements in software and hardware have given maestro's like Ott even more scope to toy with and more quality in the results. A fresh bag of tricks you might say! You can expect unique modern electro-acoustic dubs with generous spatterings of indigenous sounds from around the world ladled into the mix. But that's not all, there are a few tracks straying beautifully into different genres whilst maintaining the laid back but up beat dub vibe that we know and love.
<br/>
<br/>Add that to the usual mind-blowing production, arrangement, song writing skills and jaw-dropping effects combos and you've got a sonic feast emanating from your speakers. His use of melody is perfectly balanced between too much and too little, creating a saturated but not overwhelming wall of emotive sound. We've said it before and we'll say it again, the man is a genius.

<br/>
<br/>I spend most of my time on Tribe communicating with folks on the west coast -- it would be fun to know some in my own neighborhood! There are 182 people subscribed to this tribe. Who's still here?
<br/>
<br/>About me: I moved to DC in June 2006 after living in central NY state for many years. Spent my first year living in Dupont, then moved here to A-M last September, at Ontario & Lanier. I can still walk to work, which I like. This is a great 'hood!
<br/>
<br/>And I'm psyched for Target to open!

<br/>If you are in DC this Saturday, this will probably be the silliest thing to do, so you should definitely show up. We will get started atThe Big Hunt in Dupont around 8PM and will find ourselves rambling far and wide for the rest of the night. Much like Santarchy, the Bunny Hopis a pretty much fly by the seat of your pants event...so if you want to hook up with us along the way, be sure to have the phone number handy of a Bunny who will be hopping during the evening!

<br/>Money On Trees
<br/>
<br/>Big cash nearly fell into Shunka Wakan's lap. Other Earth First!ers are kinda happy it didn't.
<br/>
<br/>by Heidi Walters
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>As the jury trial for the civil suit Kathryn Miller v. the Trees Foundation puttered to a start last week inside Courtroom 3 at the Humboldt County Courthouse, Shunka Wakan — a key witness for the plaintiff — spent mornings sitting on the hard wooden benches in the long hallway outside the courtroom. During breaks, Miller's attorney Linda Mitlyng, would come out of the courtroom to join him. But otherwise, as other people and their legal affairs swirled around him in a warm, odiferous bath of humanity, Shunka sat alone. Or, sometimes, he stood alone, straight-spined, his small, stocky body swallowed by the huge, stiff blue suit out of which his newly shorn, razor-scraped bald head poked vulnerably — as if, at any moment, the suit could gulp once more and he'd disappear completely. Always, he clutched a paper folder with a wolf's face on its cover.
<br/>
<br/>The North Coast Earth First! Media guru had shaved off his woolly rust-tinged brown hair and beard the night before jury selection started, after discussing it with attorney Mitlyng. Now, it took an uncertain moment to recognize him. Then, of course: Shunka's light blue eyes in the pink-pale face, Shunka's closed-lip smile, Shunka's trademark husky murmur, "Mm-hmm, for sure," in response to a comment.
<br/>
<br/>In Courtroom 3, the amiable but no-nonsense Judge Christopher Wilson's domain, the fate of a $185,000 donation dangled. Would the plaintiff, donor Kathryn Miller, prevail in her claim that the defendant, the Trees Foundation, was not in fact the intended recipient of her generous gift? That Shunka Wakan's NCEF! Media Center and the treesitters were? Or would the Trees Foundation convince the jury that, in fact, the money was intended all along for Trees, with no instructions attached for funneling it elsewhere?
<br/>
<br/>Richard Idell, left, who is defending the Trees Foundation against a lawsuit filed by Kathryn Miller, confers with Doug Wallace, community support coordinator for Trees. Photo by David Lawlor.
<br/>
<br/>In her opening arguments, Miller's attorney, Mitlyng, said the case came down to "fraud and broken promises." "She believed [Trees] would hold [the money] in trust, for the benefit of North Coast Earth First!" said Mitlyng. The defense's attorney, Richard Idell, countered in his opening argument that the donation was an unconditional gift and Miller never wrote letters of instruction — as Miller claims she did. "Ms. Miller ... didn't do anything. She took the check [from her mother's estate] and flipped it over and wrote on the back, 'Payable to the Trees Foundation,'" said Idell.
<br/>
<br/>Miller's claim sought the return of her $185,000, plus interest.
<br/>
<br/>Out in the hallway, Shunka waited to tell his side of the story. Maybe he thought about the magical donation that never materialized, and now probably never would. Maybe he thought about the other times he'd been in this courthouse — dozens of times, along with other activists, often before Judge Wilson, answering to charges of trespassing and other forms of civil disobedience in the woods. Likely, he wondered when they were finally going to call him in to testify — it was taking forever in there. He'd even sent out an e-mail prematurely to the several hundred subscribers to his NCEF! online group erroneously announcing he would be first up to testify.
<br/>
<br/>By the end of Friday's court session, Miller was still on the stand. Perhaps Monday it would be Shunka's turn. Whenever it was, he would be testifying on Miller's behalf; but he wasn't a party to the lawsuit. And in the end, after hearing all of the evidence, the jury would be determining who was telling the truth about intentions and letters of instructions. Shunka was just there to provide context and evidence in a contract dispute.
<br/>
<br/>But to a number of forest activists, including a half dozen or so who appeared in the audience last Friday to watch the trial unfold, that context matters more to them than the legal questions. They say this lawsuit has placed a strain on the environmental community that could do as much damage as an ill-felled redwood that takes down other giants in its descent. They disapprove of the lawsuit, and they blame Shunka for it. And, they say, it's just another example of how Shunka has commandeered the North Coast Earth First! identity and used it for purposes that nobody else in the amorphous but consensus-driven local Earth First! movement has agreed to.
<br/>
<br/>"For a lot of us, when we read about the lawsuit, this is kind of like Shunka on trial," said long-time forest activist Deane Rimerman last Friday, calling from Olympia, Wash. "And, to what extent is he worthy of that money?"
<br/>
<br/>Kathryn Miller wanted her money to go toward saving trees, she said on the witness stand last Thursday. The slender 59-year-old was dressed in a pink print skirt and white sweater, with her gray-streaked dark hair pulled back into a neat, thin braid tinted slightly green. (Little did the jury know that Miller had spent the night in jail, in blue jail duds, and then had been "dressed out," in court lingo, in her street clothes before being escorted into the court by the bailiff. Miller had been arrested the week before, on Sept. 17, when she arrived in civil court for the pre-trial readiness hearing; according to the misdemeanor criminal charges filed against her, Miller allegedly had made annoying phonecalls to Barbara Ristow of the Trees Foundation all hours of the day and night.)
<br/>
<br/>On the stand, Miller described how she became an activist. She remembered how, when she was a child in Orinda, her mother decided to stop spraying the beautiful oak trees on their property after reading Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. "And then, when my son was 9, we were watching the news on TV about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown. And my son said to me, 'I wish I'd never been born. I don't think I'll get to live a full life.'"
<br/>
<br/>She protested the building of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. She started a peace action group in the late 1980s in San Jose. She did nonviolent protests at the Nevada Test Site. And in 1990, she came up with some of her fellow protestors to help set up the camp for Redwood Summer, and to take part in demonstrations. She's been on and off involved in Earth First! actions in Humboldt ever since, she said, including huffing in supplies for treesitters and huffing out their garbage. She'd also, at one point, bought a condo in Arcata.
<br/>
<br/>In 2004, Miller sold her condo and bought an acre of farmland, already planted with coffee, in Guatemala. She put in fruit trees to shade the coffee. That same year, her mother, who lived in Sonoma, died. "The last time I saw her was in 2003," said Miller. "She told me when she died, she was going to leave me some money. I told her I'd use it to further my work for the forest. And she was pleased, because she loved the treesitters and the forest."
<br/>
<br/>Shortly after learning of her mother's death, Kathryn Miller sought out Shunka Wakan in front of the food co-op in Arcata, where he "tabled" to raise funds for the North Coast Earth First! Media office — selling T-shirts, and stickers, offering pamphlets, accepting donations. She'd known Shunka for about five years, she said.
<br/>
<br/>"I said to him, I was going to inherit some money: What was the best way to get that to the North Coast Earth First!?"
<br/>
<br/>In the spring of 2005, Shunka Wakan was floating above the treetops. "I was so excited," the 32-year-old said in an interview a few weeks ago, sitting inside his tiny but colorful North Coast Earth First! Media office in Arcata, walls covered in art and topo maps — including one of Buckeye Mountain, where in 2000-2001, during the "Mattole Free State" action, Shunka and others hiked 14 miles through waist-high snowdrifts to save trees.
<br/>
<br/>Kathryn Miller, he recalled, had come up to him excitedly as he walked along the sidewalk outside the Arcata Co-op and said, "I just donated $185,000 to North Coast Earth First!'"
<br/>
<br/>She'd talked to him the year before about making the donation — she'd said she was anticipating an inheritance from her mother's estate, and she wanted to make a big donation to his group. He'd told her to make it through the Trees Foundation, which handled the NCEF! Media office's finances through an arrangement that had been established years ago. (The Trees Foundation is an umbrella organization formed in 1991 to assist smaller environmental groups. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, it can accept large, tax-deductible donations on behalf of affiliates, and provide professional resources. And it can lead large campaigns, like the one to save the Headwaters Forest back in the '90s.)
<br/>
<br/>Well, now she'd finally done it.
<br/>
<br/>Miller and Shunka agreed to meet at Fiesta Café in Sunny Brae, so she could tell him how she wanted the money spent: She wanted, straight away, for someone to organize a mediated workshop for the local Earth First! activists on ageism and sexism, issues she thought were fracturing the movement. And, she wanted the bulk of the donation to help support the forest activists who blockade logging roads and hunker up in ancient redwoods to fend off loggers' saws.
<br/>
<br/>Not long after, Shunka was on his way to have lunch with some folks from the Trees Foundation, where they'd talk about Miller's wishes.
<br/>
<br/>"Our media outreach was going to get a big boost," Shunka said. "The donation would keep the EF! office going for many years. So I walked into the Wildflower Café feeling elated, thinking we got all this money."
<br/>
<br/>Barbara Ristow and Doug Wallace of the Trees Foundation were there. "I was super excited," Shunka said, "and I said, 'This is great, this big donation. Isn't it wonderful?' We ordered food, and still I'm all excited, talking about the money, but I notice they're looking nervously at each other. [Finally], they said, 'Well, we're just shocked that you think this money was for you.' And I was like, 'I just met with the donor, and that's what she said.' And they're like, 'Well, let's go ahead and plan the workshop and deal with that later.' I remember that, because it put me at ease."
<br/>
<br/>After that, Shunka said he gave Trees a list of people he thought might benefit from the mediator-run workshop. "Some were people I knew had beefs with me, but I was willing to bring 'em into the circle and talk about it."
<br/>
<br/>According to some vague accounts, the workshop was a disaster. One person who was there claims that Shunka, at one point, pounded his fists on the floor, blustered, then got up and stormed out, yelling as he walked away. Shunka says that's overblown.
<br/>
<br/>"The letter from Kathryn Miller to Barbara Bristow said she wanted the mediation to be a safe place, safe to be emotional," he said. "And I think people are saying 'I freaked out.' The freak-out reports are exaggerated. It's just part of this ongoing character assassination. People say I was 'red-faced.' But my face is naturally red."
<br/>
<br/>In late 2005, while Shunka was in Seattle, a friend called him from Arcata to say a woman had come by asking for the office key. She had a list of equipment she wanted to take away. The friend didn't give her the key.
<br/>
<br/>When Shunka got back from Seattle, he discovered his reimbursement funds from Trees had been "frozen." He also learned about a letter someone in the NCEF! movement had circulated for signatures and then sent to Mark Knipper, who handled the Trees Foundation transactions for the NCEF! Media office. It said, in essence, "We don't want Shunka running EF!"
<br/>
<br/>"I called the Trees Foundation," Shunka recalled. "I was sick, it was the middle of the winter, I'm trying to table, it's raining, it's cold. And Barbara Ristow told me, 'You just need to have a meeting [with the other Earth First!ers] and come to a group consensus on what the Trees Foundation funding should be used for."
<br/>
<br/>The meeting never happened — nobody could agree to meet, said Mark Knipper, also in an interview last week. Knipper is a social worker and a long-time activist who had been the contact person between Trees and NCEF! Media. "So it ate itself," Knipper said. "And although I'm former Navy, a mariner, I said I'm not going down with this ship. So I divorced myself from it ... and signed it all back to Trees."
<br/>
<br/>The NCEF! Media office was dropped from the Trees Foundation altogether.
<br/>
<br/>Shunka and the NCEF! Media office never did see any of the big donation. Miller didn't even know that, he said, until she phoned him up in the summer of 2006, more than a year after she made the donation, to ask about a guy named "Jungle," who had been reported as missing on the NCEF! hotline. Miller was spending much of her time in Guatemala now, where she was raising fruit trees; after she'd made her big donation, Hurricane Stan had struck — she spent the ensuing year mopping up the mess.
<br/>
<br/>First, Shunka told her Jungle was still missing. Then he told her about the money.
<br/>
<br/>"I said, 'Yeah, they told me it wasn't for us,'" said Shunka. "And she said, 'I meant for all of it to go to you guys.' She sounded real upset. And I was like, 'I knew it! I knew it!'"
<br/>
<br/>Shunka tried to sue Trees in small claims court, but it went nowhere.
<br/>
<br/>Miller filed a claim against the Trees Foundation on Oct. 5, 2006, in Humboldt County Superior Court, seeking the return of the $185,000 plus interest so she could distribute the money herself.
<br/>
<br/>And if she wins? "She may just spread it out more," said Shunka. "She's got tree planting ideas. Maybe she could buy a grove. She'd maybe not give it all to Earth First! this time. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Trees blew for us."
<br/>
<br/>On an uncomfortably hot afternoon last week, four forest activists who'd agreed to an interview for this story — Jeff, Shaggy, Sparrow and Farmer — sat on the ground at the Arcata Marsh next to a log bench on which a teeming crew of red ants worked a splintered notch. Someone had come along here in 1999 and carved a grouping of faces — bearded, grimacing, possibly mourning faces — onto the log and signed it Daniel. The carving had been drenched in red paint, and burnished by years of sitters.
<br/>
<br/>"It kind of reminds me of the memorial for Gypsy," said one of them. "With the red paint."
<br/>
<br/>Gypsy was the forest name of David Nathan Chain, who in September 1998, during an Earth First! action at Grizzly Creek, was crushed to death by a tree felled by an enraged logger. Farmer, actually, was there — he was just 16, but had a year of activism already under his belt. And Shunka was there — it was Shunka's first forest action.
<br/>
<br/>Farmer, Shag, Sparrow and Jeff first made it clear that they spoke for themselves alone, although they participate in various forest defense affinity groups: Farmer works for the Mattole Wildlands Defense Group now, watchdogging the California Department of Forestry for new timber harvest plans, and keeping an eye on a Pacific Lumber Co. watershed analysis. Shag, who saw his first redwood about five years ago, helps keep the Fern Gully treesit village in Freshwater functioning. Jeff, who grew up in the high desert, and fell in love with the woods, works with the Nanning Creek treesit just outside of Scotia, as well as other groups. Sparrow, who was drawn to forest action because the cultural landscape was "like a folktale" he couldn't resist, is with the Fern Gully affinity group. These groups are all part of the Humboldt Forest Defense Association, a collective with a website but no formal structure.
<br/>
<br/>The HFDA sprang into being six years ago — about the time the entity called North Coast Earth First! had essentially dissolved. It would take a book to describe that drawn-out dissolution — a book of lost causes, won causes, waning media interest, Judi Bari's death, Gypsy's death, ego-spurred squabbles, interpersonal catastrophes, a war overseas, hurricanes. And while the HFDA activists might still cherish the Earth First! name — the movement — in their hearts, it's now been further complicated by what you might call the Shunka effect.
<br/>
<br/>"I still feel in many ways solidarity with the greater Earth First! movement abroad," said Farmer. "But in this county, in this climate, if you say you're with the North Coast Earth First!, many people associate you with North Coast Earth First! Media."
<br/>
<br/>Shunka revived the North Coast Earth First! office around 2002. And he did what previous office managers had done — tabled, put out news releases, wrote articles for other publications. But it wasn't like the old days, in the '90s, when hundreds of people were getting arrested in forest actions and the jail support phone and legal resources were in constant use.
<br/>
<br/>Shunka first worked in an office in Eureka, then later moved to Arcata. He called his outfit the NCEF! Media Center. For a time, he and other "affinity groups" tried to work together. But he alienated some people. He took over the North Coast Earth First! website. He controlled the North Coast Earth First! email list of 300 or more subscribers to the news alerts. He sent out press releases on his own.
<br/>
<br/>"I felt the North Coast Earth First! Media Center was a unilateral effort on Shunka's part," said Farmer. Whereas, in the old days, "spokespeople were decided on by the group. And if you wrote an article it was passed by everyone. I feel Shunka appointed himself spokesperson at some point."
<br/>
<br/>Many also claim they've been subject to a lashing anger from Shunka.
<br/>
<br/>"I won't work with him because I pledge nonviolence in my actions," said Shag. "I don't believe he pledges the same thing. He has exhibited violent behavior towards me and towards other activists in my presence."
<br/>
<br/>"He's a bear," said Jeff, making claw-fists with his hands.
<br/>
<br/>But the sad thing is, all of this infighting probably has done nothing to help the actual trees. And the mediation workshop Kathryn Miller wanted didn't fix matters. Now, there was her lawsuit.
<br/>
<br/>"When I heard about this lawsuit, I thought, the Trees Foundation does not deserve to be attacked in that way," said Farmer. "There's much bigger issues that need to be dealt with — with Maxxam and old-growth logging. ...If you look at Fern Gully and Nanning Creek (the Bonanza timber harvest plan), there's hundreds of old growth acres still standing whose fate is unclear."
<br/>
<br/>Shag put it more bluntly: "If [Miller] knew Shunka and wanted to get the money to North Coast Earth First! Media, she should've given it to Shunka. But if she was trying to get it to treesits and forest defense, then the money went to the right place.
<br/>
<br/>"My problem is this whole representation thing. There's people in the trees — how do you know who to get the money to, to help them?"
<br/>
<br/>Shunka knows that a lot of fellow activists aren't happy with his role in the donation dispute. He also knows how some people talk about him and say he's hard to get along with. "I'm just standing up for the truth," he said. "And people don't like it. To me, it feels like a small clique of people who don't like me. I feel a lot of love and support in this community."
<br/>
<br/>He certainly doesn't come off right away as someone who's angry, or who lashes out, or who locks the office and doesn't let people in. Why, recently, he helped a young woman hook up with the treesitters so she could learn the ropes. (Shaggy said that's proof Shunka doesn't have direct connections with the people doing direct action; but you can't deny it's a connection.)
<br/>
<br/>It's probably a bad idea to ask Darryl Cherney, one of the founders of the local Earth First! movement, what he thinks of Shunka Wakan, whose real name is Jason Wilson. (Shunka tells a story of how he was named by a Lakota medicine man on the banks of the Cheyenne River in South Dakota in 1995. "Shunka Wakan," meaning "great dog," is only part of it. There's a secret part after that — altogether, his name means "the humble man called horse.")
<br/>
<br/>"Shunka's a wingnut," Cherney said over the phone last Friday, sounding cheerfully vitriolic. "I have a 10-verse song about Shunka."
<br/>
<br/>Here are the last few verses:
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Who's at the co-op spanging a donation
<br/>Shunka, Shunka
<br/>Who's got a lawsuit 'gainst the Trees Foundation
<br/>Shunka, Shunka
<br/>Shunka, Shunka
<br/>Who's gonna keep on fighting the fight
<br/>Shunka, Shunka
<br/>With four of his friends at swimmers delight
<br/>Shunka, Shunka
<br/>Shunka, Shunka (Shunka voice: It's the last of the revolution)
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>There's no other word for it but "mean." But Cherney and Shunka have history — not all of it sour. Cherney said Shunka laughed when he heard the song, at least the first time.
<br/>
<br/>"I met Shunka in 1998," Cherney said. "And I know he knew Julia ["Butterfly" Hill, whom Shunka had come west to find]. That was a good thing, helping Julia. That was good Shunka."
<br/>
<br/>Cherney had even pushed for Shunka to go to Houston to talk with Charles Hurwitz, whose Maxxam Corp. bought out the old Pacific Lumber company back in 1985 and quickly became the forest activists' number one villain. Shunka went.
<br/>
<br/>But now? "The current status of Shunka and me," Cherney said, "is that Shunka has sent me five or eight or nine e-mails threatening to sue me. Shunka is a joke."
<br/>
<br/>Cherney can talk for hours about the problems he's had with Shunka over the years. His main point, though, is what has Shunka done for the trees lately?
<br/>
<br/>"My question is, where's your topo maps?" he asked. "Where's your wilderness preservation proposal? Where's your lobbyist team in Sacramento?"
<br/>
<br/>It has to be that, on some level, even the people in the movement who don't like Shunka understand somewhat where he's coming from. So he's emotional. Passionate. Perhaps he's caught up so completely in the cause he can't let go. Or, who knows — maybe he's a phony, like he accused Knipper of being back in 2005.
<br/>
<br/>But being a forest activist comes with perils beyond the obvious physical ones.
<br/>
<br/>"I'm really trying to have compassion for Shunka, even though he's kind of attacked us," said Susy Barsotti by phone from Laytonville a couple of weeks ago. Barsotti is president of the Trees Foundation board, and she says the lawsuit has held Trees hostage, unable to function fully. "I've been mystified and dismayed that he's participated like this in the suit. But Shunka witnessed Gypsy's death. And I think he may have post-traumatic stress syndrome. I don't think he's recovered from it. And that can affect your behavior."
<br/>
<br/>A number of people mentioned this, actually, about Shunka. And he often refers to Gypsy's death himself. In an article titled "What Luna has taught me," posted on the website of Julia "Butterfly" Hill's organization, Circle of Life, Shunka writes: "I decided to commit to doing ground support after witnessing the death of David Nathan "Gypsy" Chain on September 17, 1998 ... I remember looking across the valley as we hiked up that day, seeing the rolling hills of forests and clear-cuts, and thinking out loud, "That's why we're here!" Seeing Gypsy's life taken from him, and then seeing the corruption and lies of the Humboldt County Sheriffs ... really opened my eyes to the situation our old-growth forests face."
<br/>
<br/>Later, he did ground support for Hill in her second year in Luna. And in the same article on her website, something else Shunka writes indicates how ready he was to devote himself to a cause: "Being on the support team was the top priority in my life, and I was happy knowing that everything else revolved around when I'd be needed for the next supply run. I never felt lost because I knew what I was doing. That was a feeling I had not felt in years, between feeling dissatisfaction with life in college, and then more dissatisfaction with life as a minimum-wage worker after college. Before joining Julia's ground support team I was unhappy, even to the point of tears, wondering if my entire life was going to be a minimum-wage nightmare ...."
<br/>
<br/>Pure devotion, without benefit of a little hypocrisy, could drive anyone batty. Deane Rimerman, the activist from Olympia who said it is Shunka who is on trial, said it's not uncommon for intense, stressful movements like Earth First! to produce an army of walking wounded. And he's been around, in forest actions up and down the coast, for long enough to know; he was the one, in fact, who "got the maps and led the first hikers up to the hill" to the Gypsy Mountain campaign and Luna treesit.
<br/>
<br/>"In the forest activist movement, there's very little that's rewarding," Rimerman said. "There's a lot of post traumatic stress syndrome. All of us get it. Once you've been through the court process, and the jail process, and seen 1,000-year-old trees get cut down that you really cared about and thought you could save — it's devastating."
<br/>
<br/>That alone, setting aside the troubles with Shunka, could explain the many rifts that have occurred within the local EF! ranks over the years. Josh Brown, who moved to Humboldt in 1995 right before the peak of the Headwaters campaign, said one of the unique qualities of Earth First! is that it "is primarily a youth movement."
<br/>
<br/>"A lot of people that come through are young, are passionate — and it's a wonderful thing," he said. They get thrown into leadership positions quickly — and then they get burned out. Many move quickly on to other things. Brown stayed in longer than most. "When I left [in 2001], I was 30 years old. And I'd been a full-time activist since I was 18."
<br/>
<br/>Paradoxically, said Brown, the youthful draw and the departure of seasoned activists leaves the movement with "no elders to kind of sit around and coach the [new kids]."
<br/>
<br/>The movement also draws strong personalities, he said. Tenacious ones, too, like Shunka's.
<br/>
<br/>"Shunka, I think he really does have a big heart," said Brown. "And I think he does care for the forest."
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Last Friday, following the morning session of Miller v. Trees, a group of the Humboldt Forest Defense Association activists stood on the courthouse steps talking. The door opened, and Shunka walked out and down the steps toward the group. They didn't greet him. After a time, he tried to talk to one of them, Jeff. Jeff walked away. Shunka followed him, then stopped and talked to another guy. Then he stood alone again.

<br/>
<br/>Trees Foundation Wins
<br/>
<br/>October 11th, 2007
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>The jury in the civil case Kathryn Miller v. the Trees Foundation decided in favor of Trees, after deliberating all day Tuesday. (See "Money on Trees," Oct. 4).
<br/>
<br/>Miller is the long-time forest activist who inherited a bundle from her mother and then signed $185,000 over to the Trees Foundation. In her lawsuit, she claimed she had intended the money to be passed through Trees to one of its affiliates, North Coast Earth First! Media, run by Shunka Wakan. She claimed she had made her intentions clear, verbally and in writing, and that Trees had agreed to the conditions, then broken its promise and kept the money. Trees denied making such promises, and said it had never seen any letters or heard of instructions to give the money to NCEF! Media. (Also, somewhat relatedly, in criminal court on Tuesday Miller pleaded no contest to charges that she had made annoying phonecalls to Barbara Ristow of the Trees Foundation.)
<br/>
<br/>So, that's that. Now, there are only the pieces to pick up.
<br/>
<br/>For Shunka Wakan — featured in last week's Journal as a central figure in a messy nest of infighting that has fractured the current ranks of local Earth First!ians — it could be a long, lonely patching together of lost friends and broken alliances. Not only did he and Miller lose their attempt to retrieve her donation, but now he's been banned from the North Coast Co-op.
<br/>
<br/>Yes, that happened last week. It was Thursday, around 4:15 in the evening, and two activists with the Humboldt Forest Defense Association were tabling — hawking brochures and such — outside the Co-op. It's an activity Shunka himself has spent many a day doing in that very same spot, raising cash to pay for his NCEF!Media outreach work and other causes. And, well, these two fellows, Jeff and Farmer, were on Shunka's shit list, now. They'd spoken gently, but unfavorably, about Shunka's doings in the North Coast Earth First! arena — said he lashed out at people, said he commandeered NCEF! resources, and so forth. Here's a snippet of Jeff's account of what happened, which he sent to the NCJ in an e-mail on Friday:
<br/>
<br/>"Shunka was removed from the Arcata Co-op yesterday after a scuffle with myself and another activist around 5 p.m. Well, he wasn't exactly removed, but APD was called. He was asked to leave after threatening to flip over the HFD donation table while stating he was 'like Jesus in the marketplace ...'"
<br/>
<br/>Sue Coulter, manager of the Arcata Co-op, recounted on Friday how an employee walking by heard the argument and went inside to get her. "So I went out to talk to [Shunka], because it's not the first time we've had problems," she said. "Most of the time, he's fine. Most of the time, I stick up for him." One time, she said, she even called the police to protect Shunka after someone had threatened him. "But he gets into arguments. I tried to talk to him. I told him to leave. ... He was causing a scene, right by the door, and I can't have it. He refused to leave. ... I said, fine. I went into the store. He followed me into the store, and he was still yelling at me, 'Oh, now you're going to call the police on me.'" Coulter called the police, but Shunka left before they arrived.
<br/>
<br/>Shunka, waiting in the courthouse for the jury verdict Tuesday, said Coulter did indeed ask him to leave and he did, indeed, refuse to. As for the HFD tablers, he said he merely asked them why they had Trees Foundation literature on their table. "I said, 'Why do you want to represent these people?'" And then, he said, "Jeff accused me of embezzling — he said this in public. He said, 'You've embezzled thousands of dollars from the Earth First! movement through the years.' And I complained to one of the employees who was walking by. Because that's serious, accusing someone of embezzling."
<br/>
<br/>But Shunka said the whole thing's yet another attack on him. "I don't consider I was yelling. We were talking. I'm an emotional person, I concede to that. I speak from my heart. I don't scream at people. I would love to — but I don't."
<br/>
<br/>In his email, Jeff with HFD predicted Shunka would leave town within weeks, if not sooner. But at the courthouse, even before the verdict, Shunka said he wasn't going anywhere.
<br/>
<br/>"I'm just going to continue to run the Earth First! office and continue to call Humboldt County home," he said. He's also going to write a letter to the Co-op, complaining about how he gets scapegoated and booted out of there even when other people, he says, are the culprits. And, as for the Miller v. Trees case, he said, he and Miller may now take their complaint to another venue.

<br/>
<br/>We're thrilled to let you know that a great video has been posted to YouTube showing the Alchemical Fire Circle, with voiceover by Jeff McBride explaining how the dancing is analogous to the orbits of the planets.
<br/>
<br/>If you've been wondering about what we'll be doing at Fires Rising at Four Quarters Farm in a few weeks, take a look at this, and then pass the word! The video is from a documentary produced by Vision TV about Jeff's magic profession and his work with alchemical fire circle with Abbi. You'll see many familiar faces here.... We hope you will enjoy and want to put out huge thanks to the Four Quarters office guy Micheal for putting this together!
<br/>
<br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSjnq_ALNVY
<br/>
<br/>Please, tell your friends about it! If any of you have a YouTube account, we'd
<br/>appreciate you linking/favoriting it.
<br/>
<br/>Once you've seen the video, you can go to
<br/>http://www.4qf.org/_FiresRising/index.htm
<br/>and register online for an incredible and magickal gathering!
<br/>
<br/>We hope to see you there!</div>

<br/>2903 Columbia Pike, Arlington VA
<br/>703 486-2345
<br/>www.arlingtondrafthouse.com/
<br/>
<br/>Price: $20 in advance, $25 at the door (Nonrefundable)
<br/>Proceeds will go to the Playa del Fuego Art Grant fund
<br/>
<br/>THEATER ADMISSION IS 21 AND OVER - PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE- THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT.
<br/>
<br/>Trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been to the event is a bit like trying to explain what a particular color looks like to someone who is blind.
<br/>
<br/>Each year over 40,000 people travel to Black Rock City in the Nevada desert to participate in an experience that is wholly unlike any found in modern society. For one week in late August they become part of an experimental temporary community, one which challenges its members to express themselves and rely on themselves to a degree that is not normally encountered in day-to-day life. The result of this experiment is Black Rock City, home to the Burning Man event. (www.burningman.com/)
<br/>
<br/>A few simple rules allow this festival to flourish with creativity, and joy. Participants are entrusted to have personal responsibility for themselves and provide for their own needs in a sometimes harsh desert environment. There is no money exchanged at the event, rather the economy is built around each participant gifting his/her abilities to help and entertain others. There are few rules about how one must behave or express oneself at this event (save the rules that serve to protect the health, safety, and the experience of others); rather, it is up to each participant to decide how they will contribute and what they will give to this community. Creativity rather than money is valued at the event.
<br/>
<br/>The event takes place on an ancient lakebed, known as the Playa, a place that starts as a blank canvas where the participants can create the community as they desire. Participants are encouraged to live in the present; in a week's time everything created in the community with disappear except for memories of each participant. By the time the event is completed and the volunteers leave, sometimes nearly a month after the event has ended, there will be no trace of the city that was, for a short time during the event, the most populous town in the entire county. Art is an unavoidable part of this experience.
<br/>
<br/>The DC/VA Burning Man Film Festival is an amazing collection of work in the spirit of the radical self-expression of Burning Man. The films and shorts included in this festival pan seven years of the event, starting in 1997 through 2003. The culmination of the festival will be a talk and Q&A session with Larry Harvey, founder and Executive Director of the Burning Man Project. Films will include: "Juicy Danger Meets Burning Man", "Gifting It", and "Beyond Black Rock"
<br/>
<br/>Free shuttle bus to and from the Courthouse Metro Station (1:30-4:30pm & 7:00-9:00pm).
<br/>
<br/>Bring a can of food to be donated to Capital Area Food Bank and receive a raffle ticket for fabulous prizes!

If the National Weather Service is right – we’re looking at freezing rain at 6pm, we’re worried about our loyal tribal café attendees being on the roads!
<br/>
<br/>But -- No Worries! We'll be back next month at Asylum with an amazing line up -- Yameena and Belladonna will perform their sets in at March's cafe and Asharah will join us again in April.

<br/>Dancing Darkly - Introduction to Gothic Belly Dance
<br/>Gothic Belly Dance is the union of Middle Eastern Dance with the aesthetic, sound, and emotion of the Gothic subculture. More than just a look or a sojourn into alternative music, discover the theatrical elegance and drama that truly gives "Raks Gothique" its soul essence, from Tempest - creator of the Gothic Belly Dance Resource (www.gothicbellydance.com). We'll focus on key elements for performance, including movement, attitude, aesthetic, and presentation. All levels welcome.
<br/>
<br/>Strange Presence
<br/>It's all about bleeding your soul out to audience, serving it to them on a platter, and then eating THEM for lunch instead. Discover the key aspects of capturing your audience with your stage presence and develop your own onstage drama! We'll particularly focus on improvisational technique, and learning to be "in the moment."

<br/>About Tempest:
<br/>Tempest is an artist, designer, dancer, and writer currently based in the Bay Area of California. Although she enjoys studying what tradition has to offer, Tempest loves exploring the dance through unusual music and creative costuming, pulling on her visual arts background to "paint a picture" with the dance; engaging the audience through dramatic embodied storytelling, passionate expression, and sensuous, mesmerizing movement. She finds inspiration for her dances in many eras, places, and faces, from ancient cultures and spiritual myths worldwide, to the work of silent film star and original vamp Theda Bara, and turn-of-the-century dance goddess Ruth St. Denis.
<br/>
<br/>Tempest is most well-known for her Gothic Belly Dance performances and instruction, and is featured on the first ever GBD performance DVD produced by WorldDanceNewYork entitled "The Darker Side of Fusion" and is set to release "Bellydance for Beautiful Freaks", an instructional DVD, this fall.
<br/>
<br/>About Sashi:
<br/>(on tour from Indiana to Washington, DC)
<br/>Sashi is a talented performer, instructor and choreographer based in Orange County, California. Sashi has been a student of dance for sixteen years. She began studying African Haitian and West African dance while a student at San Francisco State University. She went on to further her experience of African dance by studying Congolese and West African drumming. In the years following, Sashi found Middle Eastern dance to be the style she was most drawn to as it spoke to her Semitic roots and aesthetic interests. She has studied many forms of Middle Eastern dance including American Tribal Style Bellydance, Tribal Fusion Bellydance, Gothic Bellydance, Egyptian and Lebanese Cabaret Bellydance, Israeli and Turkish Debke, Saidi, and Nubian Folkloric dances.
<br/>
<br/>She is most recognized for her alluring and dynamic performances of Gothic Tribal Fusion Bellydance and Improvisational Tribal Fusion Bellydance. Her provocative and ritualistic performances convey her talent for expressing herself through her dance. Inspired by the "Spirit of the Dance", Sashi views bellydance as the honoring of the divine feminine by creating spiritual and physical unions through movement. This is evident as her ability to cultivate the energy that this dance evokes is translated to each audience member with a look, a gesture, a presence that is unmistakably unique to Sashi and the dance. </div>

</div>CorrosionDC2006-08-20T14:39:25Zunusual adams morgan saturday night, 7/29dragonfly420http://adamsmorgan.tribe.net/thread/b444fb28-781e-495e-95a2-763970ee1d002006-08-15T00:40:52Z2006-07-31T14:55:19Z<div>greetings, all,
<br/>
<br/>did anyone else here notice something strange in adams morgan saturday night?
<br/>
<br/>i went out there with a girl in my band, and man, what a scene! there were swarms of guys everywhere, way more than usual, groping girls all over the place! i was a victim of said groping, and, well, i punched a dude (i blogged all about it).
<br/>
<br/>i have been to adams morgan so many saturday nights in the past, but had never experienced anything quite like that night--random guys just coming up and touching girls like they can just do that! but i wasn't sure if it was happening because adams morgan was somehow different that night, or because i was there with another girl (usually i'm there with guy friends), or if it was because the girl and i were perceived to be lesbians, or what. it sickens me to think this could just be the way adams morgan is on saturday nights and i had never realized it before because guys don't subject girls perceived to be with guys to the same bs they subject girls whom they presume to be alone, or girl-girl couples, to. (you know, guys aren't gonna grope girls when they're with a guy, probably out of fear they'll get deservedly beat down.)
<br/>
<br/>was it a fluke, or is that what i can expect next time i go out with one of my sisters? 'cause if it is, you'll never see me there again....</div>

FREE admission all night/doors open at 8 pm/drink specials all night/21+.
<br/>This week, we've got ScaryDave guest djing for us!
<br/>
<br/>Be sure to stop by and check out his sets, this Sunday, only at Corrosion!
<br/>----------
<br/>Scary Dave has been a long-time member of the DC scene, having grown up in the DC punk family before getting introduced to the Goth/Industrial scene at Tracks and Capital Ballroom back in the early 90's. He got his start deejaying at Orpheus at events like Deja Vu and Obsession, and has since deejayed at such parties as Taboo, Purgatorio, Nevermore, Midnight, and too many after-parties to mention. Dave plans on bringing his usual mix of Post-Punk, Sythnpop & Industrial, but expect a focus on the classics (don't worry, he has a new track or two up his sleeve as well). This is Dave's last DJ gig ANYWHERE until November, so be sure to come and hang!
<br/>More info on Corrosion can be found here: www.corrosion-dc.com Like what we've been playing? Then head on over to Strangeland Records (www.strangelandrecords.com), they've got a wide variety of tunes (cds and vinyl!), clothing, artwork, etc. Support your local scene and vendors!</div>

With John '00' Fleming and Jay Selway (cyzum)!
<br/>
<br/>Konvocation proudly presents:
<br/>John 00 Fleming and Jay Selway (cyzum) at Club Five in DC. This special JOOF Recordings party will feature t-shirt and CD give-aways all night as well as music provided by JOOF Recordings founder, John 00 Fleming, and newest addition, Jay Selway.

<br/>
<br/>Few people can claim to have been at the pinnacle of their profession for a sustained period of time, having enjoyed so much success and still be leading the way forward. John 00 Fleming, one of the dance music industries most revered personalities, is amongst a small band of people who can say they were responsible for igniting the spark of the scene we all know and love today. A DJ career spanning more than 20 years from the ripe old age of 15 has afforded John 00 the sort of experience that most other DJs can only dream of. Never afraid to push the boundaries in the projects that he turns his hand to, he is the owner of the hugely successful J00F recordings and hosts his own radio show on Ministry of Sound/DI.FM, the highly popular Global Trance Grooves. A musical taste that transcends genres and his determination to seek out fresh, new, exciting music has resulted in John playing in almost every corner of the world and selling over 1 million CD compilations in his career. John celebrated his sixth year in the DJ Magazine Top 100 poll - a reminder that while many 'fad' DJs come and go, his rock-solid fan base makes him one of the few names capable of continuously filling clubs. He was also voted the 16th best DJ in the world on the massive Trance Addict site - an accolade that John was particularly honored by.
<br/>
<br/>Jay Selway (aka cyzum)

<br/>
<br/>With upcoming releases on JOOF Recordings, Iboga Records and Soular Records , 2006 will be the break out year for this American producer. Along with his musical partner, John C, Jay forms half of the group Zero Divide. Their hard edged progressive sound has received support by such world class DJs as Christopher Lawrence, John O Bir, John Askew, Emok, Dj Glen of Iboga, Above & Beyond, Antix, Austin Scott, Dimitri Nakov, and John '00' Fleming. In addition, their tracks have been featured on KISS 100, Ministry of Sound, The Static Channel and John '00' Fleming's Global Trance Grooves.
<br/>
<br/>Jay has completed remixes for Wizzy Noise, Hujaboy, John 00 Fleming, Voice of Cod, The Digital Blonde and has a slew of singles being released in 2006. His recent release, a remix of John 00 Fleming vs. The Digital Blonde - "Fused" has received top 10 play listing by some of the world's top DJs. In addition, Jay had recently been asked to produce an album for JOOF Recordings, one of dance music's longest running and most respected trance labels.

<br/>Speakers at the DC Petrocollapse Conference will include peak-oil author
<br/>Richard Heinberg. Experts on peak oil, small-scale agriculture and

<br/>Multimedia presentations and multiple films will demonstrate solutions to
<br/>the audience.
<br/>
<br/>At The Petrocollapse Conference we will ask
<br/>
<br/>* What are we facing now as the economy prepares to hit the wall
<br/>known as resource limits? Will growth suddenly implode?
<br/>* What will be the effects of Peak Oil (a geological phenomenon) and
<br/>petrocollapse (an economic and social phenomenon) on food supply and
<br/>other services we depend on?
<br/>* What other mitigation strategies are possible?
<br/>* What is the role of the market in determining how severe the
<br/>effect of shortage stemming from geological depletion will be ?
<br/>* Upon upheaval, deprivation, and a restructuring of social relations
<br/>in a "new" local economics system, will we choose to create a
<br/>sustainable culture?
<br/>
<br/>DC PETROCOLLAPSE CONFERENCE SPEAKERS WILL INCLUDE:
<br/>*Albert Bates Global Ecovillage Network; author

<br/>MEDIA ALERT -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
<br/>
<br/>DC Petrocollapse Conference: May 6, 2006
<br/>All Souls Church, Unitarian 16th & Harvard, Washington, D.C
<br/>
<br/>A conference on the effects of peak oil and the growing global energy
<br/>crisis will take place in Washington, DC on May 6th at the All Souls
<br/>Church, Unitarian from 9 A.M. to 7 P.M. Speakers include peak-oil author
<br/>Richard Heinberg.
<br/>
<br/>Conference organizer and speaker Jan Lundberg is a former oil industry
<br/>analyst who ran the market research firm Lundberg Survey. Lundberg,
<br/>who quit serving the oil industry so he could put his knowledge to use to
<br/>protect the environment, says "M. King Hubbert, who developed the
<br/>theory of peak oil, observed that we do not have an energy crisis but
<br/>rather a culture crisis. This fits with the theme of the Washington DC
<br/>Petrocollapse Conference that there is no technofix for our energy
<br/>dilemma. Society will have to bring about a closer level of community and
<br/>rediscover what local economics are about."
<br/>
<br/>The May 6th conference will feature Richard Heinberg, the most-read peak
<br/>oil author (The Party's Over, and Powerdown). Films and music will be
<br/>also offered as part of a varied program to stimulate discussion and action
<br/>by attendees. Heinberg and Lundberg and others will perform music
<br/>including oil-satire songs. Films will include premiers of "Our Synthetic
<br/>Sea" (plastics pollution in oceans) and "The Power of Community: How
<br/>Cuba Survived Peak Oil."
<br/>
<br/>Lundberg says the Petrocollapse Conference asks, "What we can do in
<br/>advance of the social upheaval and chaos that may produce a 'national
<br/>New Orleans,' to prepare or mitigate? What will the future look like during
<br/>and after a transition to non-petroleum living?"

<br/>Background briefing for:
<br/>
<br/>Petrocollapse Conference: May 6, 2006 9 A.M. - 7 P.M.
<br/>All Souls Church, Unitarian 16th & Harvard, Washington D.C.
<br/>
<br/>Most independent oil experts agree that the peak in global oil extraction
<br/>is occurring approximately now. The pressures of the market to distribute
<br/>the fuels and materials made from petroleum are already creating intense
<br/>competition for energy supplies around the world. As the gap between
<br/>supply and demand widens and prices skyrocket, supply will tighten as
<br/>never before due to hoarding. This will cause massive repercussions in
<br/>daily living and the global economy. Not only will people have to adapt to
<br/>an energy-poor world by concentrating on sustainably working with their
<br/>regional ecosystems for all their needs, but also have to cope with
<br/>climate change which is rapidly accelerating. This scenario is referred to
<br/>by oil expert and conference organizer Jan Lundberg as Petrocollapse.
<br/>
<br/>As stated in the conference brochure, "the world's peak in oil extraction
<br/>is about now -- although there is uncertainty and debate. The pressures of
<br/>the Market to smoothly spread around the fuels and materials made from
<br/>petroleum promise to create intense competition for energy supplies, as
<br/>seen already today on the world stage. As the gap between supply and
<br/>demand widens and prices skyrocket, supply will tighten as never before
<br/>due to hoarding. This will cause massive repercussions in daily living and
<br/>the global economy. Not only will people have to adapt to an energy-poor
<br/>world by concentrating on sustainably working with their regional
<br/>ecosystems for all their needs, climate change is accelerating."
<br/>
<br/>Richard Heinberg presents irrefutable evidence in his books and
<br/>powerpoint presentations that the world's maximum oil extraction has
<br/>most likely been reached. He also shows what limited contributions can be
<br/>offered by various countries to increase their oil output, and what
<br/>alternative sources of energy can possibly provide to replace petroleum.
<br/>Besides his solutions of "powerdown" and "lifeboats," Heinberg promotes
<br/>the Oil Depletion Protocol proposed by Colin Campbell, the geologist who
<br/>founded the international Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas.

<br/>A little about this month’s performers:
<br/>
<br/>SAMMATI
<br/>Sammati is proud to present American Tribal Style bellydance in the DC area. ATS utilizes a specific set of moves in order to facilitate improvisational performances. While not an authentic middle-eastern style of dance, the costuming and spontaneity of ATS transport the dancers and audience to another time and place. Come with us and enjoy “what might have been” on the Romany Trail.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>EBONY
<br/>Ebony’s early dance influences include urban and electronic styles such as hip hop and house. She specializes in creating her own style of urban/electro fusion belly dance. Ebony performs regularly with Raqs Sahara and teaches beginner classes at Sahara Dance.
<br/>
<br/>ROMKA
<br/>www.Romkadance.com
<br/>The word ROMKA’ was created by fusing the first syllable or Roma, or gypsy (Rom) with the last syllable of a darabu ka, a type of drum (ka). Thus began Romka’. Rooted in traditional belly dance, Romka’ fuses modern and traditional styles to excite and entertain. Members of Romka can be seen performing at Shisha Lounge in Sterling, VA.

<br/>
<br/>A little about this month’s performers:
<br/>
<br/>Mavi
<br/>http://www.romkadance.com
<br/>Mavi is a tribal fusion belly dancer from the Washington D.C. area. An early student of Egyptian and Turkish Cabaret Styles, she was drawn to the fusion of movement and spirit of Tribal fusion belly dance, especially the opportunity to blend traditional dance with interesting, odd, or just plain creepy music and props. Mavi is a regular performer at Shisha Lounge in Sterling, VA, and has performed on stage with Peter Murphy and the Dresden Dolls.
<br/>
<br/>Asharah
<br/>http://www.Asharah.com
<br/>Asharah has been performing since the age of six as a dancer, figure skater, and singer. She has extensive experience in Turkish, Egyptian and American belly dance, and she is best known for her dramatic fusion of tribal, Turkish, and cabaret styles. She currently performs with the avant-garde troupe Martiya Possession and at the Shisha Lounge in Sterling, Virginia. Asharah has performed as a soloist at many venues on the East Coast in Northern Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Manhattan, as well as at some of Washington, DC's largest nightclubs: Nation and the Black Cat.
<br/>
<br/>Troupe Arabesque
<br/>http://www.transitionsyogaanddance.com
<br/>Arabesque takes the name from the flowing lines and patterns of Arabic art, a fitting image for the interconnectedness of all dance forms, dancers and souls.
